FCKEditor text validation and html tags problem - El Forum - 07-25-2007
[eluser]arslan ali[/eluser]
I am using FCKEditor in PHP. While validating form if an error occurs the validation class reprints contents of FCKEditor posted earlier
Code:
$this->fckeditor->Value = $this->validation->FCKEDITOR1;but this code displays contents with extra html tags <p></p> embedded in the contents.
i have tried to remove them using strip_tags function, but can't get rid of them
Any Suggestions

Could be because the tags aren't actually tags - they will be encoded - > - < etc. so strip_tags won't remove them. you may have to use html_entity_decode() somewhere. Check the php manual for full details of the function.

I just came across the same problem - if my form fails validation, I get the contents of the FCK text area displayed with HTML entities.
The solution above from Glen fixed it! example (where 'description' is the name of the text area):
Code:
if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE) {
$this->fckeditor->Value = html_entity_decode($this->validation->description);
}
